Review: Monkey in Paradise Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Monkey in Paradise Vodka was launched in early 2016 by Alex Kowtun, Frank Gomez, and Seth Goldberg.  The MIP name and bottle graphic design peaked my interest.  After reading about their production methods, and seeing the many awards they have already won, including a Double Gold Medal from The San Francisco World Spirits Competition, I was psyched to try it.  MIP is made from the highest grade American corn and is distilled seven times in copper stills, and seven times carbon filtered.  The water is demineralized with a proprietary five ppm reverse osmosis system.  This extreme level of purification takes 11 gallons of water to produce 1 “Paradise Pure” gallon for the distillation process.  The charcoal filtration takes place at four different proof levels allowing the alcohol and water to rest together between proof levels.  The aroma is boiled corn, ethanol, a hint of raspberry and white pepper.  The sweet vanilla and raspberry entry builds to a milky berry peak.  It fades with creamed corn flavor.  The finish is semi-dry with charcoal, mineral, red berry, and whole milk taste.  A flash of heat and alcohol sting, complete the journey.  Monkey in Paradise is a sweet and creamy vodka that will mix well in cocktails.  Served chilled in a martini glass MIP finishes with some old school vodka heat.
